If I was you I wouldn't use anything like creatine. Focus on finding an exercise routine that you enjoy and will continue. All the supplements in the world will do jack all if you don't actually exercise safely and properly. The only thing I personally do is take a shot of whey protein (~20g) immediately following a work out. That's it.
Also, contrary to popular belief, not all guys that lift weights want to "get huge". My body type is more like yours (5'10" and probably 140lbs right now) but I'm only interested in putting on maybe 10 or 15 lbs more weight. I'm into rock climbing and big, bulky muscles typically equal big fail for this activity. I don't care if my body is considered scrawny. If people saw me monkeying up a rock face they might change their tune on what the definition of strong is.
